Myth-Nomers and Im-Pervections

Apparently, I skipped the book before this one, [b:M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link|148205|M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link (Myth Adventures, #7)|Robert Lynn Asprin|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172193946s/148205.jpg|655619], and you know what? It didn't even seem to matter.

That is one thing I do enjoy about these Myth books. They are a series, but a very loose series where each book can 'almost' stand alone. It makes for a fun, enjoyable, no pressure kind of read.

So Skeeve grows up.

The writing was solid, but I found the whole book annoying. Skeeve goes off to find Aahz, goes to Prevect which is much like New York, theres a few spots on pontification about how bad cities are, and Skeeve finally acts like an adult, that is until Aahz is found and starts ordering him around. I finished it, but only because the writing was simple enough and the story moves fast.

This one seems more like an interlude than an actual adventure. Plus the original team was gone and it was mostly just Skeeve. Not bad but not hilarious. The history of Aahz was pretty cool.

I bought this one back when it first came out but never wound up reading it. Pretty cute and typical of all the Myth books, but not exactly a heavy read and pretty much what you'd expect if you're a fan of the series.

Skeeve travels to the chaotic, dangerous dimension of Perv to reconcile with his mentor, Aahz, who quit M.Y.T.H. Inc. in a huff. Skeeve navigates Perv’s tough, urban environment and confronts his own limitations while trying to convince Aahz to return.

After a misunderstanding, Aahz leaves Skeeve to manage their magical consulting business alone. Skeeve realizes he cannot run the business without Aahz and follows him to his home dimension, Perv.

Skeeve discovers that he's not as grown up as he thinks he is.

It's an OK book. Nothing to write home about. Seems to be more about fan service as a number of fans have parts within the work. (They even break the fourth wall to let the reader know that they're fans.)
